Notes

This Fall, we will build on and extend the work started in the fall in EDC 102H and continued in EDC 503 this summer. Each classmember will be assigned to a team where he or she will commit to summarizing and providing notes for at least three chapters. Each of the chapters has been summarized before. You will be expected to connect Ravitch's reforms with current reform strategies, happenings or conditions in Rhode Island schools. For each chapter you summarize, please make sure you there is the following:

a. Edit and reformat your sections so that the collection looks neat and accurate.
b. A one-paragraph summary of the reformers' claim and Ravitch's argument. .
c. A one-paragraph description of the type and main results of the evidence that used by Ravitch.
d. Reading notes from the chapter (a list of bulleted points is fine).
e. A one-paragraph description of why this issue is important for our efforts to develop a new strategic plan for Rhode Island Department of Education

Each of these paragraphs should have a strong topic sentence supported with evidence from the text. If you are summarizing a chapter that has already been addressed by a freshman last fall, please utilize as much of their work as you can and fill in missing elements as needed. Feel free to edit their writing to make your product clearer. You are welcome to trade assignments, but be sure to include your name at the beginning of the entry for the chapters that you summarize.

You can either write your summary/reflection in the link below or, if you have already added to the shared notes, just write where I should look to read your contribution.
